Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
C- 70% Curse of Chucky (2013) " Despite the return of Brad Douriff as the voice of Chucky and writer-director Don Mancini, this installment lacks the humor or thrills of the films that went before. " — Movie Chambers
Posted Oct 6, 2013
C 8% Runner Runner (2013) " What begins as a potentially interesting peek into the seedy world of online gambling quickly becomes a bore. Just fold and walk away." — Movie Chambers
Posted Oct 4, 2013
C- 57% The Frozen Ground (2013) " The scenes where Cage grills Cusack are the best thing about this very average thriller." — Movie Chambers
Posted Sep 30, 2013
A 99% The Wizard of Oz (1939) " The classic MGM musical from 1939 has been lovingly restored and up-converted to 3D." — Movie Chambers
Posted Sep 30, 2013
A+ 98% Gravity (2013) " A great film, perhaps the best film about space, ever. " — Movie Chambers
Posted Sep 28, 2013
A 95% The Fly (1958) " A bit corny, but mostly a chilling and worthwhile experience. Mother Nature is the bad guy in this tale. The humans are all protagonists. All of them. " — Movie Chambers
Posted Sep 26, 2013
A- 95% Behind the Candelabra (2013) " Michael Douglas transforms himself into the Las Vegas entertainer with style and, most of all, believability. Liberace was larger-than-life to say the least, and it would be easy to go the SNL route with a character by painting him with broad strokes. " — Movie Chambers
Posted Sep 25, 2013
B+ 95% Enough Said (2013) " Once you overcome the sentiment connected to seeing Gandolfini on the big screen for one of his final performances, you'll appreciate how wonderfully insightful this film can be. And, you'll enjoy the performances in this above-average ensemble effort. " — Movie Chambers
Posted Sep 25, 2013
B- 33% Let's Scare Jessica to Death (What Killed Sam Dorker?) (1971) " A promising exercise in weirdness that will have you hanging until the end. " — Movie Chambers
Posted Sep 16, 2013
D 33% The Family (2013) " An above-average cast can't save this mob comedy from French director Luc Besson. " — Movie Chambers
Posted Sep 13, 2013
D+ —— Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell (1992) " The most unforgivable mistake was the monster's get-up (David Prowse of "Star Wars" fame in a gorilla suit.) Far from terrifying! " — Movie Chambers
Posted Sep 12, 2013
C- —— Savages Crossing (2009) " This low-budget direct-to-video might be worth a peak. Or, maybe not. " — Movie Chambers
Posted Sep 10, 2013
D 60% Riddick (2013) " Diesel's character never really gets scared. He's just arrogant. Morning, noon and night...he's a horses butt. That doesn't make for an interesting story." — Movie Chambers
Posted Sep 6, 2013
C- 46% Closed Circuit (2013) " For a movie about terrorism and the way government spies on its citizens, "Closed Circuit" is surprisingly yawnsville. " — Movie Chambers
Posted Aug 28, 2013
F —— Fear The Forest (2013) " Someone should take away this guy's iPhone. "Fear the Forest" is one of the worst horror movies you could ever expect to see." — Movie Chambers
Posted Aug 28, 2013
C- 67% Magic Magic (2013) " Save for the above-average performances, it's all just so much trash." — Movie Chambers
Posted Aug 27, 2013
C+ 91% In a World... (2013) " It's a female empowerment story both on and off the screen." — Movie Chambers
Posted Aug 23, 2013
C+ 81% Ain't Them Bodies Saints (2013) " The acting is solid." — Movie Chambers
Posted Aug 23, 2013
B 89% The World's End (2013) " Very funny!" — Movie Chambers
Posted Aug 23, 2013
D- 27% Planes (2013) " "Planes" is so dull. A real crash-and-burn by Disney Studios, without the assistance of Pixar. And, it seems to be a rip-off of Pixar's "Cars" with many of the same types of animated characters. What a disappointment." — Movie Chambers
Posted Aug 9, 2013
C 68% Elysium (2013) " The acting is sub-par. Damon fails to generate the hero vibe. Jodie Foster is wasted as the iron-faced space queen. And, her chief agent, is a South African actor who is very hard to understand. His words, I mean." — Movie Chambers
Posted Aug 9, 2013
C 47% We're The Millers (2013) " Truth is, I laughed at "We're the Millers," more than once. " — Movie Chambers
Posted Aug 7, 2013
C- 27% Erased (2013) " Good opening premise and a fine cast, including Olga Kurylenko, but "Erased" is otherwise a story well-travelled. " — Movie Chambers
Posted Aug 2, 2013
C 46% Bullet to the Head (2013) " It says "revenge never gets old." Yeah, but Sylvester Stallone did. Yikes. " — Movie Chambers
Posted Jul 27, 2013
D+ 20% Girl Most Likely (2013) " If you're expecting "Bridesmaids" style humor, don't. Wiig and company are dull and clueless. " — Movie Chambers
Posted Jul 19, 2013
B+ 87% The Conjuring (2013) " Director James Wan does it again. First, it was the unexpected hit horror movie, "Insidious." Now, "The Conjuring" delivers the same scary bump-in-the-night thrills." — Movie Chambers
Posted Jul 19, 2013
A- 72% Pacific Rim (2013) " This is the monster movie we've always wanted. " — Movie Chambers
Posted Jul 12, 2013
D- 9% The Host (2013) " Oh, the silly movies we must endure. "The Host" is perhaps one of the most brain-dead sci-fi love stories to come along in many years." — Movie Chambers
Posted Jul 10, 2013
B 75% Despicable Me 2 (2013) " It's all good fun. If you have kids...they'll squeal. And, even adults will like the minions and the 3D effects." — Movie Chambers
Posted Jul 3, 2013
C 31% The Lone Ranger (2013) " "The Lone Ranger" certainly won't revive the western genre. Move along, little doggie. " — Movie Chambers
Posted Jul 3, 2013
C- 50% White House Down (2013) " Call it a thriller with some weird comedy riffs, heavy-handed politics and a screenplay that bears too much of a resemblance to the original "Die Hard."" — Movie Chambers
Posted Jun 28, 2013
D 65% The Heat (2013) " No, "The Heat" didn't miss a single cop-buddy cliché. All it did was place two women in the roles instead of two men. Kudos for doing that, but give the women something to work with. Yuk! " — Movie Chambers
Posted Jun 28, 2013
D 56% Man of Steel (2013) " To quote the Joker in "The Dark Knight," "Why so serious?" There's no joy in this story. " — Movie Chambers
Posted Jun 14, 2013
D+ —— Dark Circles (2013) " The creepy young female ghost is not that scary. She could take some lessons from "Mama."" — Movie Chambers
Posted Jun 13, 2013
C- 38% Stand Up Guys (2013) " All three acting legends bring the spice to a sub-par story. But, the total is not enough to keep this flick from stinking." — Movie Chambers
Posted Jun 13, 2013
B- 38% The Purge (2013) " "The Purge" works as an exercise in suspense. Writer-Director James DeMonaco knows how to generate the chills. " — Movie Chambers
Posted Jun 7, 2013
C+ —— Mold! (2013) " Don't go in with high expectations. This film is cheesy and can't always deliver. But, I was happy enough to sit through this nonsense. You might like it as well. " — Movie Chambers
Posted Jun 4, 2013
D —— H.P. Lovecraft's Cool Air () " Most won't be able to sit all the way through this sub-par spooker. Waste of time. " — Movie Chambers
Posted May 29, 2013
B 69% Fast & Furious 6 (2013) " It's like the ballet. Nobody goes for the story, really. It's the choreography and the performance. Perhaps that's why I didn't mind "Fast & Furious 6″ so much." — Movie Chambers
Posted May 24, 2013
B —— The Mask of Dimitrios (1944) " "The Mask of Dimitrios" may get bogged down with its storytelling structure, but don't let that keep you from enjoying yet another amazing encounter between Greenstreet and Lorre." — Movie Chambers
Posted May 23, 2013
B- 87% Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) " A beautiful film with an ugly third act." — Movie Chambers
Posted May 17, 2013
B 66% Mama (2013) " The story-telling may be a bit confused at times. But, you've got to love the genuine scares and images that "Mama" brings to the table. " — Movie Chambers
Posted May 15, 2013
C- 32% Gangster Squad (2013) " "Gangster Squad" is like "The Untouchables" without a heart. De Palma delivered the goods on Ness and company. The goods were hijacked in this gangster tale. " — Movie Chambers
Posted May 9, 2013
B+ 79% Iron Man 3 (2013) " Tony Stark, as played by Downey, is more than just a rich self-centered inventor. He's stylishly glib, smart and overwhelmingly cool. Downey is what makes the movie tick. " — Movie Chambers
Posted May 2, 2013
C- 49% Pain & Gain (2013) " "Pain & Gain" is the type of film that makes you feel like need a shower after you watch it. " — Movie Chambers
Posted Apr 26, 2013
D+ 7% The Big Wedding (2013) " If we're going to continue to make French comedies into American films, then we must insist France write something original. Please." — Movie Chambers
Posted Apr 26, 2013
D —— It's In The Blood (2013) " This direct-to-video horror flick has some good ideas working, but the execution (especially the writing and direction) is weak." — Movie Chambers
Posted Apr 25, 2013
C- 54% Oblivion (2013) " Unfortunately, they didn't get the story right. The first three-quarters of the film is very predictable. And, despite a couple of nice twists in the last act, it's not enough to counterbalance that predictability." — Movie Chambers
Posted Apr 19, 2013
F 10% A Haunted House (2013) " Truly one of the worst horror spoofs of all time, and there have been some hideous failures over the years. Poorly written, repetitive and offensive on every level without being funny. Wait, I'm just getting started." — Movie Chambers
